Lac Long Quan Street

Lac Long Quan Street is associated with historical stories and many famous characters with different beauties, adorning Tay Ho painting.
According to legends, Lac Long Quan married Au Co (De Lai's daughter) and gave birth to a bag of hundreds of eggs that hatched into hundreds of children. One day, Lac Long Quan said to Au Co: "I am like a Dragon, you am like a Fairy, water, and fire are different, we cannot live together." They immediately divided their children to live separately, fifty people followed their mother to the mountains, and fifty people went with their father to the sea, divided to govern those lands which were the ancestors of the Bach Viet groups.
Lac Long Quan Street now belongs to Tay Ho district and Cau Giay district, Hanoi. The road is 4,000m in length and 10m in width, connecting from Nhat Tan - Phu Xa junction, through Xuan Tao, Trich Sai, Bai An to Buoi Market, and through the headquarters of the People's Committee of Tay Ho district.
The streets that cross Lac Long Quan Road are Hoang Hoa Tham, Xuan La, Nguyen Hoang Ton, An Duong Vuong, and Au Co. Especially, Lac Long Quan and Au Co streets both were built on ancient dike systems.
In Hanoi, Lac Long Quan is the only street planted and decorated with many wild peach trees or Nhat Tan varieties in the strip of land separating the two lanes. In the spring, every time you go through here, you can view the beautiful life, bustling spring weather, the immense West Lake, and high-rise buildings on all sides. The capital is growing more and more with time.
